How about you stop asking an demanding lists and information from people, then you wouldn't be able to claim they '''ran away" when they don't do the research for you, since you are too lazy.......if you want a list of broken promises, provide the list yourself, YOU do it.....don't ask other people to do the work for you.........I'm sure there is a long list of broken promises.....like that middle class tax cut that will never occur.

Well, if a person posts a comment on this board, it shouldnt be seen as unreasonable for that person to provide sources and factual material upon request. In this forum we should promote FACTS and vet questionable statements....this forum can be a imformative way of separating the facts from fiction and smears during the course of an open discussion.

Stuart---i know your intent is pure but you must admit taht some among us long for the days when women and blacks knew their place.Those are the kinds of traditions we certainly needed to end.

Traditions aren't deserving of respect just because they enjoy the status of "tradition."We simply disagree on this issue of traditional marriage.
Nice seeing you.

Perhaps President Obama hasn't had time to focus on DADT policy right now because he's concentrating on North Korea pointing long-range nukes toward Alaska and Guam.

Or maybe just maybe he's busy trying to strategize how to relate to Israel under Netanyahu.

Maybe focusing on 2% of the population just isn't all that important right now, but that's just me.

If we are going to legislate and forceably teach our children that being gay is normal and o.k., then lets legislate that all pagan customes and life styles are normal and o.k. Then the gay issue will take care of itself.

I work in a large liberal University town and weird is an understatement of the garbage that the youth of this area are being brought up in. If someone was involed in a relationship with a three headed llama, you better just go along and not say anything negative or unuaual about it. It you would, the "I'm offended police" would come down on you like stink on you know what and make you out to be Jeffery Dalmer.

Is that why your messiah is breaking all of his promises?

I asked you earlier to list his "broken promises", and you didn't even list one before tucking tail and running away.

So much for that, huh?

The military still thinks that bedroom barracks and bathrooms are all technically engendered to genitalia of humans. How blind can they be? The military leaders never seemed to graduate from their pottey school mentality when it comes to qualifying a person for military service. Sure, no one wants a discipline problem and I agree with that.

I served in the military and saw that nothing exists in a LGB serving the military to disqualify them from serving, other than a huge fear in the superiors with traditions of hatred for LGB's.

I am no LGB myself, but the racial military segregation of the 1930's - 1950's was clear evidence how slow the military is to adapt.

I personally thank every military service person I see in an airport and shake their hand, when I see one in uniform.

I also condemn the military's stance and resistance to adapt and accept LGB's from serving.

We live in a day of extradordinary changes. No one thought the USA would be attacked as it was in 2001 or that GM would ever fall, or the banking system would fracture and nearly end capitalism. I predict that we will see the day soon when LGB's serve the military without restriction. I condem the current military leadership for being so pig-headed about the issue. I know the leadership has numbered days. I live for the death of their stubborness and ignorance and transformation to accept change without fear.

Oh boy, quit playing this foolish helpless people game. You gays are anything but helpless. Where do you get those billions of dollars to lobby for same-sex marriage?
